Saudi Prince Calls for End of Ban on Women Drivers

Saudi Prince Calls for End of Ban on Women Drivers



A Saudi prince implored his country on Wednesday to dump the kingdom's longstanding ban on women drivers, calling it "unjust" and an "infringement on a woman's right."
Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world that prohibits women drivers.
Prince Alwaleed bin Talal took to Twitter to say "Stop the debate: Time for women to drive." He also issued a statement making an economic and social argument in favor of allowing women to get behind the wheel.
